Vehicle Description
2006 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG - Silver over Black - 5.4L/493HP V8 -
Fully Serviced at GR Motor Car �€� (Please note: If you happen to
be viewing this 2006 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG on a website other than
our Garage Kept Motors site, it's possible that you've only seen
some of our many photographs of the car due to third-party website
limitations. To be sure you access all the more than 120
photographs, as well as a short start-up and walk-around video, and
a link to the Mercedes' Carfax history report, please go to our
main website: Garage Kept Motors.) Find an open stretch of highway,
floor the Mercedes S55 and you'll soon know what it means to
'kompress' the time/space continuum. �€" The Truth About Cars The
Truth About Cars website writer continued: ... that's what happens
when the Württemberg Wirbelwinds stuff 493 horses and 516ft.-lbs.
of torque under the hood of an S-Class sedan. Even in these
horsepower mad times, when a stock pickup truck can out-drag a 60's
Ferrari, that's a lot of grunt. It's enough shove to put Mercedes'
5.5-liter V8-powered leviathan on a par with a Porsche 911. (Both
sprint from 0 to 60 in 4.6 seconds.) ... all this assumes that
you'll drive the Mercedes S55 AMG like you stole it. Such spirited
motoring is highly recommended, but not strictly necessary.
Although the gearbox offers a Sports setting and Speedshift (a
button-activated, wheel-mounted cog swapper that's 35% faster than
the gas pedal), most (S)55 drivers will probably spend at least 65%
of their time in Comfort mode, wafting from place to place in
climate-controlled serenity.... Offered here is a 2006
Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG in a classic combination, Brilliant Silver
(744U) over Graphite (charcoal)/Anthracite AMG leather (281A). As
befits an automobile of this caliber, it has been properly
maintained and treated with respect which shows in its overall
excellent condition. Built in Stuttgart on April 5, 2005, the S55
has traveled 157,518 miles, or roughly just 10,500 miles per-year
since new. The Carfax history report records consistent service by
Mercedes dealerships and competent independent shops over the
years; a single minor-damage incident ten years ago has been long
since perfectly repaired. The extensive equipment and options list

Brilliant Silver exterior paint is just that, brilliant: a
perfectly glossy, consistent, deep finish. The paint-application
technology Mercedes uses is well-known for being state-of-the-art,
and it shows here on the S55 which retains a close-to-showroom
presentation. In the same way, body-panel fit and alignment is
virtually perfect. It's clear that prior owners of this
luxury-performance sedan gave it consistent, regular care. Even
lower-body surfaces are free of wear, much less damage. All chrome
trim-from the front grille to the quad-outlet rare exhaust tips-is
properly shiny and undamaged. Emblems-including the bespoke
three-pointed hood ornament, front-fender engine identification,
and rear-valance model designation and Mercedes emblem-are all
properly in place and unscarred. Cabin glass and lighting lenses
are crystal clear. AMG-branded, spilt-spoke, 3-piece-style, alloy
wheels are mounted with Michelin@ 305/40-18 all-season performance
tires. Inside, the color theme is rich, dark supple leather with
ample wood trim. All interior surfaces-upholstery, dashboard,
switchgear, and carpeting-retain excellent, like-new condition. (Be
sure to visit the link in this description for the car's full list
of features and equipment.) Even the front seatbacks are free of
any sign of kid damage, indicating fastidious owner-care. Door
panels feature stitched anthracite leather inserts, leather
armrests, wood trim, and power-seat and power-window controls in a
